Welcome to the eighth episode of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Surprise: The Way to Win.”

The original meaning of the word surprise is to attack or capture suddenly. I’d call that a sucker punch!

We discussed the “dark side” of surprise in Sucker Punched by Life. Now it’s time to talk about the bright side of surprise and figure out how to use it to help us get what we want out of life.

Believe it or not, a surprise attack is the best way to win!
